The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) warned of efforts by China to defeat the United States in the wake of coronavirus.
Gordon Chang is an expert on China who believes China is becoming more hostile and aggressive to the United States.
Wuhan is the city in China’s Hubei province where the outbreak of coronavirus originated.
However, China is working to blame the outbreak of the respiratory virus on the United States.
A health expert in China, who is considered a “hero” and famous for fighting the SARS epidemic, raises doubts that the coronavirus originated in China.
From Breitbart:
The Chinese Communist government is “laying the theoretical foundation that the U.S. spread disease in their country,” Chang said.
Chang also laid out remarks and actions that Chinese leaders have made or the Chinese military has done that show hostility to the U.S., such as that China had the right to use force to settle trade disputes, directing blinding lasers at U.S. pilots in Djibouti, and conducting sonic attacks against American diplomats.
“Why do we maintain a cordial relationship with a regime that is harming Americans?” he asked.
Chang also mentioned a recent news report that said China plans to buy 1.4 million units of body armor, citing potential military conflicts with “Taiwan secessionists” and “U.S. provocations.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping is “warning us about what he wants to do,” Chang said. “We are in a war, and the enemy is the People’s Republic of China.”
According to retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven L. Kwast, China is looking to dominate the U.S. while “trying not to awaken the great giant.”
Kwast believes China plans to steal U.S. intellectual property, duplicate the technology and dominate 5G networks.
“They have stated openly they see our freedom as an existential threat to their survival over time,” Kwast said.
China is trying to “strangle us [so that] we go out with a whimper,” Kwast added.
